Messrs. Dunn Capstic showed their matchless Clydesdale, Lawrence Archer, and 'were awarded first honors.

Mr. Joseph ,Oliver showed an aged mare with a really fine colt by Royal Archer, that, secured the second premium. Mr. Andrew Braden showed a. Pride of Sire. If! the classes flor one and two year old fillies and geldings some promising entries came before the judge. ~ The product of that haphazard . system of breeding, known as general purpose, Was well represented at the ring, and while many animals were yery good, there, was nothing to learn from a. breeders Wand-point- It would pay the farmers of this county to adopt some well defined line of breeding and stay with it.

They were reinforcâ€" ed by many who came by boat from points'both east and west. The Ken- oaha. and Esturion both made special trips from Lindsay. The merrygoâ€"round was there. It was popular and its snort, whistle 7~7 --_.._l_. was put under filigatio‘fi to ‘Pror‘bs, who likely with an eye to the needs at the case aid-the fitness or things had compassion on the shedless estate of the society and favored with sunshine the mine aggregation amid the trees. It is an interesting com- bination, this fair, of entertainment and instructfion. of study and pastime oi the normal, and grotesque. Good nature is ' its chief characteristics There the people are in picnic mood. They visit_and dgatter and laugh and see the fair. . The procession is a prime factor or this fair and every year it presents some new and attractive specialty. This time a ,fldral carriage contain- ing two little girls and a. 100th and drawn apparantly by two huge locusts was a pleasing feature. The incongruvity of the parts of this pro- ceaion is an eflective element. -Not tarbehindtheflreenginecameaboy leading a dog hitched toga miniaturq wagon loaded with carrots and pota- toes and garnished with evergreen twigs.

Nicholls 0! Smith had it all his own way with a clever knee-acting black sirod by Green MountainMorgan, but the de- cision for second place in his favor for a rather plain and skimp pacer was hardly so much in public favor. Mr. E. B. Garlick's black mare by Lap‘rdsi'st Chief would have been much more so. Mr. Thos. Fairbairn showâ€" ed a clever-moving. though in color badly mixed row. by Lapidist Chief, that could move like a piece of ma,- chinery.
